I just to Connecting Threads & they said that they no longer carry thr verigated threads!

SewThankful is my source. Good prices, great service. Small family business too.

I bought some at a local shop today-$9.50 a spool. :shock: and I can't find the brand they carry (wonderfil brand) very many places, online or off. I think I may switch brands but I hate buying online to save a couple bucks only to pay it back and more in shipping. But the local shop has very few colors to choose from and haven't gotten new ones in a long time (like a year).

Google "YLI". 100 % Mercerized cotton. 100 % Long staple cotton.....beautiful colors. I have "Royalty"....it's beautiful: blue tones.

I like Valdani,King Tut,Robison-Anton,Aurifl and YLI threads. The King Tut at my LQS is $13./spool - I like it but it is pricey so thought I woud try a few others. |

I believe my LQS long armer uses King Tut quite a bit.

Purplefiend - Is there any difference between these brands? Is one stronger, better to sew with or does one leave more lint in the bobbin chamber?
The King Tut at my LQS is $13./spool - I like it but it is pricey so thought I woud try a few others.[/quote] The Valdani comes in 35wt. and 50 wt. King Tut is a 40wt. thread that is nearly lint free,Robison-Anton that I use is 50wt. YLI (40wt.)is just wonderful stuff , not real linty either; and Aurifil is nearly lint free too. It depends on the quilt as to what thread I use, they all do beautifully in a home sewing machine. Some of them work better with a long arm quilter machine. I experimented with the different brands/weights to see what I liked and worked best for me. When I'm machine quilting I use a 90/14 or 100/16 top stitch or denim needle, machine quilting needles if I can find them. Does that answer your questions? |
